I so badly wanted this to be good, but the first episode , is a warning that even makes Cassandra redundant.
I found the acting wooden, the storyline a mess, the script dreadful. The two main characters Helen and Paris, devoid of any charisma, thus the very idea of a 1000 ships sailing to rescue her laughable.
The least of my worries based on this first episode, is the casting of Achilles , and others .
How on earth can this second rate production, hit our T V screens , when one recalls TROY from a decade ago, perhaps using George Martin for advice might have saved time and money !!!!
